aww thanks so much! It means a lot, coming from a fellow practitioner! I know, that you know, what this method can do for so many families. Your community is so lucky to have you as a practitioner!
Yes! Slow down everything, your touch, your intentions, how you physically interact with your child. This creates space for their brain to pay attention to what they are actually doing. So if your hands are gently on their pelvis as they are rolling around, switch your intention from "I'm going to help them roll over better, by moving their pelvis this way and that way" to... "I'm going to support their hips/pelvis and get curious about what movements they are doing, as they are rolling over themselves." You'll find that you're going to naturally slow down your hands (and slow THEM down by default) when you get curious, instead of trying to get them to 'do' something. You want to build on those movements they are naturally already doing... instead of "overriding/forcing" something different. Learning is so much more powerful when you support, bring the brain's attention to what they already know/can do, and THEN add in variations. Hope this all makes sense! It's a totally different way to think about physical therapy. Making that switch to connecting, instead of fixing.
@@MindFullMoves thank you for your clear answer! I am just doing as you suggested, and it is great! Slow should be the first Essential as it allows to apply the others! Thank you from the deep of my heart. Next year I will bring my son to The Abm centre and meanwhile i want to support him in the best way possible! Thank you
My child is 14 months old and has diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I have no idea from where to start. He hasn’t started rolling over yet and has no or little neck control. Also, He doesn’t hold things at all. Please help me navigate this phase.
Hi! Best place to start are with gentle movements to help his brain connect his head, spine and pelvis for head control first. 👉Here's my youtube playlist for the videos focused on head control: ruclips.net/p/PLCNDlkdbV1K2KlA08WnUABkwWLNMP44J4 👉And the you can try some of the movements for learning to roll here: ruclips.net/p/PLCNDlkdbV1K0ADEYoBOsHx0a0KA0C1rGi 👉And if you want to dive deeper with the guided videos, you can find my online programs here: classes.mindfullmoves.com/courses Hope this helps and reach out if you have more questions!
Yes! It's a wonderful technique for anyone (any age) recovering from a Stroke or Brain Injury. This is based on the principles of brain plasticity... which is the same, for any brain at any age/diagnosis... 1.go slow, 2.bring the brain's attention to themselves 3. support what it's doing 4. then add in gentle variation. You got this!

Thanks so much for your help. Have you anything for spasticity in hand fingers. Please. Thanks again
We just did a video on that! Here’s a video with 2 fun ideas to reduce hand spasticity:

When you say slow, you mean we have to slow down the baby movements while supporting them? Thanks ❤
